In an indication of the doubt between the distinctive groups, the keys to the congregation have been held by a Muslim family since the twelfth century.
The sanctuary has been reconstructed four circumstances in its history, most as of late in 1810 after a fire. The structure had been held set up for very nearly 70 years by iron braces raised on the guidelines of a British senator who ruled Palestine in the Mandate period. They have now been evacuated.
